i am usually very skeptical when actors turn up at events head to toe in a particular look straight off the runway. chinese actor hu bing arrived at the 'la dolce vita' cocktail party in rome, dressed head to toe in look number 39 from gucci fall winter 2010. but i am pleasantly surprised, i think he looks really good. i'm sure being an ex-model and towering at 1.89m (stalker who?) definitely helps. he even have no qualms wearing that partially see-through top, which i think it's a major no-no for most guys, but hey if you are 38 years old and you still have it, flaunt it.
hu bing is in rome to contend for the 'best leading actor' award for his film "bei mian" (the back).

what i really like about this look, is the trousers. i love the diamond-print fabric, and even more so the cutting and length of the trousers. when most celebs borrow outfits the most disappointing part is usually the length, most just doesn't hem it properly. i honestly think hu bing carried off the look better than the runway model. i'm not crazy over the jacket, which i can't quite make out if it's metallic or velvet, but overall good look, he doesn't look overly styled or uncomfortable.
i really like the trousers, i think it's very flattering. i want a pair too.
with china soon poised to be the biggest consumer of luxury goods, i think this is a very good effort of marketing a collection to the far east. there's no need for dragons and tigers motifs, and hu bing looked equally nice.
